As a result, our instance https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ got 625 new user registrations (of which 536 where accepted) in the past 24 hours! And the registrations are not abating even now. We still get like 10 new ones per hour!

I suspect this is probably the largest advertisement, for lemmy specifically, since the main reddit blackouts 1.5 years ago.

Have your own instances also seen an influx of new users?

Sadly /c/piracy is blocked from .world I think.

Later on there was drama because they blocked it a second time anyway. xD

E: Their second announcement: https://lemmy.world/post/13320356

Announcement stands at a high number of downvotes. The people have spoken, the admins did not listen.

I don't think I've ever seen any other post with 2000 downvotes and -1000 overall score. Those numbers are really big. But at the same time LW has way too many users and communities on them so I can understand them not wanting to play legal games on top of that regardless of factuality. It's a free platform and changing instances is easy (as long you don't have communities to move).

Big uptick for us at bhzon recently, but a degree of magnitude less than this
